CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.
An Ohio Farmers Earnest Protest Against
the Abuse of Livestock.


the Abuse of livestock.
This subject is one of much impor.
tance. Cruelty to animals is something
many people indulge in in many ways.
This consider one among many great
sins of which man is guilty. To be
cruel and unkind to dumb beings is not
only sin, but is very unmanly. and
shows lack of good judgment and
good common sense. Such people for
get that those animals belong to God,
and not to us, but that He has entrusted
them to our care for short time only,
and will one day require us to render
an account of our stewardship. We
should be kind to both man and beast,
and not exercise our privilege so much
astlo some people. We should have at
least some feeling for the lowest and
most degraded creature that treads the
earth.
Some people misuse their horses,
which are of great service to man; in
fact, it would be fmp9ssible for man. al
this late day, to carry on his farm
work without the horse. Cattle, too,
are another kind of stock which receives
more or less cruel treatment ut times.
Mich cows are often beaten and
kicked about, while being pailed. This
l consider unnecessary and cruel.
have often MIXED Gas our female force
is light, and never yet have found il
necessary to pound single COW, and
have handled great many COWS.
Men could be severely punished for
so doing. | once knew of certain
man (not thousand miles oil), who
purchased, of an old acquaintance OF
mine, a very fine specimen of the Short
horn for the improvement of his herd.
This animal was three years old, and
weighed, the day he received him,
1920 pounds. This man was an mex
perienced hand in handling that kind
of stock, and supposed that much less
feed was required to keep him
than other stock, and, therefore,
to avoid all expenses of keep, and that
clear profit might be obtained
thus. he thought it necessary to put
him through fasting process. which,
in my estimation, he accomplished
pretty thoroughly. Curiosity one day
caused me to call on this man to see his
bull, and upon entering the stall
found to my astonishment that the bull
was as poor us Jobs turkey" and
without hay, and had not so much rs a
straw bed. but had to lie down in the
manure, several inches deep. In the
following spring he had the range of a
grass lot from which to make his living.
This lot was by the rcJdside, and the
animal had shed all the hair from the
shoulders and back, from being so com.
pletely scalded during the previous
winter, and being so very thin. it gave
him the appearance of huge buffalo.
He did duty all that summer rs scare
crow for passing horses. OF all tho
cruelty to dumb animals l ever heard
never heard of one so bad as this

Negroes In England.

Colorcd people are apparently very
popular in England. There does not
seem to be any prejudice against them
on account of their color. There are
not many colored people in London.
The few that l have seen from time to
time are invariably in company of
white people and associating with them
on footing of perfect equality. ! saw
the otherday upon Regent street a negro
girl, black rs coal, walking along lean
ing upon the arm of fashionable. we'll

fectly charmed and contented with his
dusky companion. In the same way
/ have seen white women, respectable
in their appearance and dress, walking
in public leaning upon the arms of ne
groes. Frederick Douglass, when he
was here, said there did not seem to be
any prejudice in England against the
negro on account of his color. The
other day visited the temple; there I
found n negro hard at work in the IL

Some New Things Designed by America's
Manufacturing jewelers..
Flower designs are now used in belt
buckles.
Initial finger rings of fine twisted
wires find ready sale.
Toilet articles of oxidized silver in
heraldic designs are in demand.
A penciled tiger-eye owl Of dull finish
makes neat watch-charm.
Silver bead necklaces of one, two,
three and four strands are becoming
popular.
A silver anchor, entwined with COL
ored enamel flowers, makes pretty
lace pin.
Match-boxes of silver. with fishing
dies in colored enamel on the sides, are
scasonable.
A novel lace pin is in the shape of a
shepherds crook, in the center of which
is a Pan pipe.
Tea caddies of Minton chinawarc

set dinner tables.
A novel and suggestive pin for the

Interrogation mark.
Cologne bottles of cameo glass, with
matted surface and enamel decorations,
are being used to a great extent.
In silver and gold pen-holders tho
most fashionable are plain, with the
exception of twist about an inch from
the point. A pencil can be pushed from
the bottom.
A new hair ornament is large
Oxidixed silver ball set on an amber
pin. In the ball is concealed glove
buttoner, which can be produced and

Using Money SensibIy.

The great majority of men live so
nearly up to the full measure Of their
income that losses byreason of sickness
or other causes put them on the down.
ward track, which once begun is SO
difficult to rctrace. 1t is far easier
when money is plenty to learn new
methods of expenditure than to reverse
the process. The art of using money
sensibly is difficult Probably in tho
cases of the poorest the larger share OF
their scanty earnings goes for what
does them more harm than good. This
is always true Of those who in health
become public charge. Two per cent
annual increase in national wealth is .
large average. All the earnings OF
labor and capital above that 60 for
waste and subsistence. A comparatively
small sum yearly, compounded and
secure from any charges, soon rivals
the profits Of large and successful
busines. --Boston Budget.

POISONED ARROWS.
How They Were Made by the Indians of
Former Generation.

How They Were Made by the Indians OF
Former Generation.
Ihad often heard of the poisoned ar
rows, and determined to ask the old In
dian arrow-maker about them and how
they were made and impregnated with
the deadly poison which they were sup
posed to contain. He looked ut me for
full minute and then said:
"First we take bloated yellow rat
tlesnakc in August, when he is most
poisonous, and tie him with forked
stick to stake; then we tease him till
he is in great rage This is done by
passing II switch over his body from
his head to his tail. When he threshes
the ground with his body and his eyes
grow bright and sparkle like diamonds
we kill deer, antelope or some other
small animal and, tearing out the liver,
throw it to the snake while it is warm
and the blood still coursing through it.
The reptile will strike it again and
again and pretty soon it will begin to
turn black. When he tires the snake
is teased again and he is induced to
sink his fangs into the soft flesh until
all the poison is extracted from him
and the liver is reeking with it. He is
then killed and the liver lifted with q
sharp pole, for SO dangerous is it no
one dare touch it. The liver is let lay
for about an hour, when it will be al
most jet black and emit sour smell.
Arrows are then brought and their
iron heads pushed into the liver up to
the shaft. They are left sticking there
for about an hour and half, when they
are Withdrawn and dried in the sun. A
thin, glistening, yellow scum adheres
to the arrow and II it but so much as
touches raw flesh it is certain to poison
it To DEATH"
Iasked ii Indians still used poisoned
arrows. "No," he replied, ''no man,
Indian or white man, for years past,
has bean shot with these arrows and
they are no longer made. e."-Omaha Re-
p9blican.

Remarkable Surgery.

Tho science Of surgery has made such
wonderful progress in modern times, that
the most intricate and delicate operations
are now undertaken and carried to sue
cessful issue. There are now several well
authenticated cases Of what Is known as
pneumotony, that is TO say, the removal OF
diseased portions of the lungs in cases Of
consumption. While, however, this delicate
operation has sometimes been successfully
performed, the risks attending 1t are 80
great, and the chances of recovery so slight,
that 1t is seldom resorted to. The safest
plan in consumptive cases Is to use DR..
Perce's Golden Medical Discovery. This
will always cure the disease In its earlier
stages, thoroughly arresting the ravages OF
the terrible malady, by removing its cause
and healing the lungs.

Female Stenographers.

Women as rule do not attain to the
highest excellence in practical short
hand reporting, because they do not
bring into requisition sufficient judg-
ment. As amanucnses, however, they
give general satisfaction, and receive
fair wages. Judging from the great
numbers of self-constituted verbatim
reporters in this city, one might fancy
that they came into life like the tabled
Minerva, all armed and equipped,
ready to overcome the obstacles that
besct their professional path. Much
hard, unremitting labor is required to
become thoroughly expert steno-
grapher. Power of mental concentra-
ton and natural aptitude in that di.
rection are indispensable. and without
them any amount of study and prac.
tice will be in vain.-A. 4. Oldfeid, in
